Si vostre amor no em mata
«Vuestra soy, para Vos nací
¿Qué mandáis hacer de mí?»
This is a proposal commissioned by the Festival Clàssics (Barcelona) and co-created together the actress Nora Navas. Si vostre amor no em mata is an intimate and vibrant recitation of texts by Simone Weil, Eulàlia d’Anzizu, Santa Teresa and Juana Inés de la Cruz.
A poetic journey through women’s voices that made thought and mysticism a radical form of desire and knowledge.
The music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Pēteris Vasks, Krzysztof Penderecki, Sofia Gubaidulina and György Kurtág, conceived from a deep personal bond with spirituality, connects with the texts to open new doors.

“¿Why should I worry?
It is not my business to think about myself.
My business is to think about God.
It is for God to think about me.”
